Herm Sprenger Prong Dog Collar Extra Links, Set of (3) 2.25 mm Chrome Links, Steel Chrome Plated Dog Prong Collar Links, Pinch Collar and Dog Correction Collar Links, Prong Training Collar Links

I have a 95lb, leash reactive male German Shepherd. He's an amazing dog, but pulls on his leash and is reactive to other dogs and delivery vehicles...he knows the Amazon Prime, FedEx, and UPS vehicles all too well! After some initial hesitation, prong collars look medieval after all, I did some research and decided this was the correct tool to use to correct his undesirable behaviors. Before I would put it on him, I put it on myself, applied pressure and was satisfied I wasn't employing a tool that would cause him painLiterally after our first walk, his behavioral problems disappeared. He started to lunge and bark once on that initial use, I gave him the sideways tug for a correction, and he hasn't done it again.He no longer pulls, reacts to other dogs or familiar vehicles and is more attentive to commands. He looks forward to his walks like before and shows absolutely no hesitation in letting me put it on him. I couldn't be happier with the product.I will say that he's a large dog with a thick mane; his neck measures around 18". I had to use an additional two links on top of this collar and the three extra links that came included, for a total of five extra links total. The only "knock" I have is that it isn't the easiest collar to get on, but it's secure and I don't have any extraordinary difficulties getting it on or off. If you have arthritis or any issues with finger dexterity, a collar with a clasp would be more to your liking.

Great design, I had to get a couple extra links to fit my APB's neck, this is a very good training tool once you are educated how to use it right! I'm still learning, but my first walk with the dogs was very easy and uneventful and there was no pain to the dog, no yelping, no tugging. I even tried it on, gave it a tug and it pinches but it doesn't hurt! Think of the guy laying on a bed of nails, pressure dispersal, now think of those nails being rounded and smooth.This is supposed to imitate getting nipped by a mother, it seems to work well with both my German Shepherd and APB, the Shep was more touchy to it. Both did very well and it was a 180 from how they walked on a standard collar. No yelping, jumping at other dogs, trying to yank mine or the kids' arms off, no stopping to pee or smell everything without notice, etc. They walked great, and I am sure after a little time with these, going back to the standard collar walking will be a piece of cake! Then someone else can use these!

Herm Sprenger was actually recommended to me when I called into amazon for a different product issue (which was solved amazingly). The amazon rep noticed in my account that I had dogs. We just started chatting, and she trains dogs for the military. I had mentioned that my lab I don't take walks with my lab due to having difficulty with training, and pulling. I had tried all kinds of products, and nothing helped. She told me about the Herm Sprenger product, and said those are the only brand to use, and they don't hurt the dog. Other products aren't designed the same way and actually poke and hurt the dog. She put what exactly what I needed in my cart for me, so I could see what she was referring to. I had a free consultation with an expert. My dog was NOT happy the first time we used it, but quickly adjusted. She also told me to do a search on You Tube specifically for Herm Sprenger to see how to use the product correctly. Fantastic product, and fantastic customer service.

I was a bit weary due to all the posts and pics showing the links were different or not authentic, but I’m happy to report the links I received were authentic. They are exactly the same size and shape of my 2.25 original collar. I made sure to choose “sold and shipped by Amazon.com” versus using third party sellers. The links were perfect for extending my growing dog’s collar. Definitely recommend the links versus buying a new collar.

Great training collar! I bought this for my 1yo, 70lb ridgeback mix. I had to buy a couple more links, but it fits him fine.He is an extreme puller!!! I had the large version of this collar before and he would still pull pretty badly. It's rare that he pulls with this collar, when he does it's not for long (or as hard). The smaller version isn't as obvious as the large one, which is nice for haters of prong collars. I'm definitely glad I bought this, he's finally well behaved on walks!The one con about the smaller version... the pinch release is a nice feature. BUT, it can come apart on it's own. I didn't have this issue with the large collar. It's a little tricky to get it connected to the tiny links on the small collar. Once I have it connected, I jiggle it to make sure it's in there good. If I forget to do that, there is a 50% chance it will come off during a walk, usually immediately. I only use this collar for walks. I attach the leash to his normal collar if he's playing with another dog so it doesn't come off while they are playing (which has happened) or get stuck on the other dogs teeth/collar.If your dog is a flight risk, I would walk him with a second leash attached to his normal collar incase the prong collar pops off. You could also buy the large version or prong collar without the pinch release. But the large version might not work if you have an extreme puller. And the normal prong collar is pretty tough to get on off. But its whatever is safe and works best for your dog. Good luck!

We have a prong collar for our German Shepherd who is super affectionate and doesn't understand she can't greet everyone and everything on walks. The collar we got was just a smidge too short, and I was happy to find these extra links for sale. They are indistinguishable from the links on the original collar, both in appearance and function.The only downside is that the price for these links was only about $4 less than the original collar, which is an Amazon/seller issue, but that is why I rated the value for the money 3 stars instead of 5.

I came from the skeptical side. I wrongly believed these hurt dogs. On the contrary, strangulation from the collar is the real danger. This collar tells the dog: "slow down buddy" without hurting them. Labs pull like little horses

Si el collar le quedó chico a tu perro como en mi caso, estos eslabón es sin la solución

Despite merchandise’s tiny size and light weight, the Shipping & Handling is much higher than usual and higher than cost of item.I must have overlooked during ordering.Other than that, it’s an authentic Herm Sprenger at a good price and excellent packing.

No mucho que decir. Quedan Perfecto con el collar. Con solo dos tendrías suficiente para un perro de talla grande

Works as advertised with proper sizing and execution. First time using one after growing up thinking they were inhumane - no lesions, no redness, no aggression, no resent coming from my pup. When she sees the collar, she knows it's serious walking/ training time and is visibly excited just like when we put on her front clip harness for longer walks.If you've been considering a prong collar for a while but are worried what people will think of you and your relationship with your dog, just educate yourself enough so you're prepared to educate others. :)Highly recommend these ones in particular for their build quality and rounded ends which are very important.
